    When I was coming back from lunch I passed by City Hall to see if there was any excitement going on.  I'm pleased to report that there was none.  I'm not sure where all the protesters have gone but I saw nary a placard advising me of my hell bound status.  Maybe they had to meet with their parole officers.  I headed up Polk to Bush and headed back to work only to find that Bush Street had been commandeered by exuberant Italian soccer fans triumphantly celebrating the Italian soccer team's victory over France.  Take that, Frenchie!

    After work I headed off Howard to 11th to Harrison to 23rd.  Trinity Presbyterian Church was built in 1892 and is all shades of fabulous:

      

    I continued on 23rd where I encountered this Mural.  Which is really neat and very detailed.  How cool its this??

         

    I continued on 23rd to Valencia to Tiffany to San Jose to Wilder to Diamond to Monterey to Ridgewood to Flood to Hazelwood to Greensood to Northwood to Wildwood to Faxon to De Montefort to Pico to Urbano to Moncado to Cerritos to Winston.  This is the view looking down Winston towards the ocean:

    And the view back towards Ingleside Terrace:

    The view south from the same vantage point:

    And to view north of Balboa Terrace:

    I continued on Winston to Lake Merced to Skyline to Ocean to Clearfield into 34th to Yorba to Crestlake to Wawona to 30th to Vicente to 17th to Taravel to Merced to Hernandez to Laguna Honda to Portola to Corbett and then home.
